The next days are filled with reactions to his death. Mrs. Li address a student’s assembly, praising Sherman, as with an inconsolable Kevin cries all throughout the ceremony. Daria, on the other hand, Daria finds herself the object of much unwanted attention from other students and even a teacher. They feel either sad or anxious by the situation and consider Daria to be a candidate to understand death related subjects, since she is a thinking person. Despite her unease with her role and label of misery chick, Daria consoles Kevin, Brittany, [[Timothy O'Neill|O’Neill]] and even [[Quinn Morgendorffer|Quinn]]. At the same time, Daria foundsfinds herself being avoided by Jane.
 
Finally fed up with her friend’s absences, she goes meet her at the [[Casa Lane|Lanes]]. After a brief conversation with [[Trent Lane|Trent]], where he reveals Tommy and he had been classmates but hadn’t had much contact, Daria confronts Jane in her room. After an awkward beginning, Daria expresses her frustration: that people keep assuming she's miserable and therefore knows what to do, when she ''isn't'' miserable, just not like the others. Jane explains the reason the others were coming to her was that they were searching for ways to deal with Sherman and to stop thinking about life and death, thinking Daria would be the best to approach; when they say she's miserable, they mean "you think" and they want to know how to cope with having to think things they don't want to.
